Thought I should probably post something in case anyone happens by due to a response I’ve made. I don’t post often; mostly read. I am absolutely loving BSky. Just being able to both block and follow easily with lists makes this place infinitely more enjoyable to peruse than the dying place.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Our $2M investment in the Sea Cliffs Exhibit Renovation Project has gotten a pretty clear seal of approval.

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

He later says “I can just see [it]: ‘President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump’..I don’t give a damn. I’m gonna say it. We’re making a freaking fortune" Quite the closing argument. No wonder GOP candidates don’t want to campaign with him

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Look it's 2026 and I know "the president is a rapist" is already baked in to everyone's opinion but the president of the United States is a fucking rapist and I would really appreciate it if the media would treat this like the major earth-shattering scandal that it should be.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

These people don’t want to win; they don’t even want to persuade. They want a world where they are a pure and rarified elite, with none of the responsibilities of actual power, only the smug gratification of being right.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Wild how I can post something about missing Obama and there are STILL people in the replies telling me bad things Obama did. Was he perfect? No. Was he a billion times better than Trump? Yes. Stop comparing apples to incoherent fascist oranges.

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

#DeportElon

Seems like a good day for a nationwide ad that ties Trump’s support for raping children to the Epstein files and urges voters to contact their local Republican House/ Senate candidate to ask them whether they agree with Trump.

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

It really needs to be emphasized that the woman Vivek is featuring in these videos fled with an accused & indicted child rapist and successfully helped him avoid trial for 20+ years.

@rooster.info broke the story. no need to link to X bsky.app/profile/roos...

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

and his people ... studying very dilapidated golf course. ... AL: "Burgum and people" -- that refers to you? GW: don't know. AL: you see others? you said someone identified on left who was part of President's staff. who was it? GW: natalie harp. AL: post says work will begin 9/1 GW: yes. /75

In a filing signed only by Associate AG Stanley Woodward, govt asks Judge Reyes to disqualify herself from the golf course. (Govt seems desperate to stop Dept of Interior chief of staff Greg Wischer from having to testify about his involvement.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

WHY does Todd Blanche fight so hard to keep unredacted (and now even redacted) handwritten interview notes from the American people? Is it because they have to do with Convicted Felon Donald Trump and allegations of his sexual and physical abuse of a 13-year old girl?

Gas has now topped $4/gallon for a record 158 days. Trump promised you $2/gallon gas. Instead, his sky-high gas prices just broke a record.

Here are the details: literally any time, any place, any network.

The Art of the Deal, folks. Donald is such an idiot.

ABC News' lawyer told a judge the network is tempering its election coverage because of government threats. The Trump Censorship Industrial Complex is real...and expanding.

The police said she lied about being raped. Then she hit record.

Your periodic reminder, should you need it: Birds Are Dinosaurs.

If increasing our Canadian diesel imports by just 4% would give us exactly the same amt… why would Trump buy fm Russia? Could it be that Canadians wouldn’t let him skim and Putin would? Could that be it? Asking for those of us not brain-dead.

Trump wants the US to fund Putin’s evil regime.

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.

This is SUCH good news! People vaccinated against chickenpox as kids are less likely to develop shingles as adults. That’s what science would predict, of course, but it’s good to have proof. Avoid two diseases with one vaccine series! www.epicresearch.org/articles/fir...
